四：阅读理解（共两节，每小题2分，共50分）
第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A
Several animal species including gorillas in Rwanda and tigers in Bangladesh could risk extinction if the impact of climate change and extreme weather on their habitats is not addressed, a UN report showed on Sunday.
Launched on the sidelines of global climate negotiations in Durban, the report by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization shows how higher temperatures, the rise in sea levels, deforestation and excessive land use have damaged the habitats of certain species, especially in Africa.
“Many ecosystems have already been stressed by increasing population, historical and recent deforestation, unsustainable management practices and even invasive (入侵的) species,” Eduardo Rojas-Briales, assistant director general at the FAO's forestry department, said at the launch of the report.
The most affected areas include mountains, isolated islands and coastal areas, which limit the possibilities for animals to migrate elsewhere and create new habitats.
“The remaining populations b ecome surrounded in very small ecosystems, they have inbreeding (近亲交配) problems and at the end these species may disappear,” he added.
Other examples of affected animals included elephants in Mali, lions in the Serengeti and crocodiles in Malawi.
The report said an estimated 20-30 percent of plant and animal species will be at higher risk of extinction due to global warming and a significant proportion of native species may become extinct by 2050 as a consequence.
Other consequences could include the spread of invasive species and infectious diseases, it said.
The report urges more focus on restoration of damaged ecosystems, especially those key to dealing with climate change such as mangroves(红树林), inland waters, forests, savannahs(非洲大草原) and grasslands.
The FAO also called for the creation of migration corridors for animals in areas where their movement was limited.
The organization said while more resources were flowing to biodiversity conservation, more action at the government and policy level was needed.
It also urged local communities to develop projects that mitigate the impact of climate change on wildlife, naming eco-tourism activities as an example.
61. What does the author tell us in Paragraph 2?
A. The theme of global climate negotiations in Durban.
B. The subject of research done by Eduardo Rojas.
C. Causes of damage done to ecosystems.
D. Harmful effects of damage done to ecosystems.
62. Why are animals living in mountains, islands and coastal areas most affected?
A. They are frequently attacked by invasive species and infectious diseases.
B. They have difficulty finding enough food for survival.
C. They can hardly find mates to produce their young.
D. They have little chance of moving to other places.
63. To avoid extinction of some animal species, the UNFAO suggested all the following ways EXCEPT ______.
A. limiting world population growth
B. restoring damaged ecosystems
C. creating movement channels for animals
D. urging governments and local communities to take action
64. What does the underlined word “mitigate” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Increase or further improve something
B. Make full use of something.
C. Make something become less serious.
D. Move from one place to another.

B
The Board Meeting had come to an end. Bob started to stand up and knocked into the table, spilling his coffee over his notes. “How embarrassing! I am getting so clumsy in my old age.”
Everyone had a good laugh, and soon we were all telling stories of our most embarrassing moments. It came around to Frank who sat quietly listening to the others. Someone said, “Come on, Frank. Tell us your most embarrassing moment.”
Frank laughed and began to tell us of his childhood. “I grew up in Sa n Pedro. My Dad was a fisherman, and he loved the sea. He had his own boat, but it was hard making a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to feed the family. Not just enough for our family, but also for his Mom and Da d and the other kids that were still at home.”
He looked at us and said, “I wish you could have met my Dad. He was a big man, and he was strong from pulling the nets and fighting the seas for his catch. When you got close to him, he smelled like the ocean. He would wear his old canvas, foul-weather coat and his bibbed overalls. His rain hat would be pulled down over his brow. No matter how much my mother washed them, they would still smell of the sea and of fish.”
Frank’s voice dropped a bit. “When the weat her was bad he would drive me to school. He had this old truck that he used in his fishing business. That truck was older than he was. It would wheeze and rattle down the road. You could hear it coming for blocks. As he would drive toward the school, I would shrink (畏缩) down into the seat hoping to disappear. Half the time, he would slam to a stop and the old truck would belch (喷出) a cloud of smoke. He would pull right up in front, and it seemed like everybody would be standing around and watching. Then he would lean over and give me a big kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy. It was so embarrassing for me. Here, I was twelve years old, and my Dad would lean over and kiss me goodbye!”
He paused and then went on, “I remember the day I decided I was too old for a goodbye kiss. When we got to the school and came to a stop, he had his usual big smile. He started to lean toward me, but I put my hand up and said, “No, Dad.” It was the first time I had ever talked to him that way, and he had this surprised look on his face. I said, “Dad, I’m too old for a goodbye kiss. I’m too old for any kind of kiss.” My Dad looked at me for the longest time, and his eyes started to tear up. Then he turned and looked out the windshield. “You’re right,” he said. “You are a big boy....a man. I won’t kiss you anymore.”
Frank got a funny look on his face, and the tears began to well up in his eyes, as he spoke. “It wasn’t long after that when my Dad went to sea and never came back. It was a day when most of the fleet (船队) stayed in, but not Dad. He had a big family to feed. They found his boat adrift with its nets half in and half out. He must have gotten into a strong wind and was trying to save the nets and the floats.”
I looked at Frank and saw that tears were runnin g down his cheeks. Frank spoke again. “Guys, you don’t know what I would give to have my Dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek…to feel his rough old face… to smell the ocean on him… to feel his arm around my neck. I wish I had
been a man then. If I had been a man, I would never have told my Dad I was too old for a goodbye kiss.”
66. When his father drove him to the school, Frank would shrink down into the seat hoping to
disappear because ________.
A. he thought he was old enough to go to school alone
B. he was ashamed of his father’s old truck
C. he didn’t want his schoolmates to see his father
D. he hated the way his schoolmates stared at his father

A. hurt
B. disappointed
C. excited

A. was quite confident in his skills in fishing
B. loved his children but hardly expressed it
C. was full of devotion to his family
D. seldom gave up when he was faced with challenges

We all think we know what happiness is. We all seem to be making great efforts towards this goal of happiness but what is it really? It is an agreed fact that all the creatures want happiness and are afraid of pain and sadness. The qu estion, however, is “What is real happiness?” What really is called happiness? The desire for happiness has no meaning without understanding the real nature of happiness.
Some thinkers say, “Happiness does not lie in objections of enjoyment; happiness or u nhappiness lies in imagination.” To prove their belief, they give examples like the following one: A man has a two-storey house; on the right is a five-storey building and on the left a cottage. When he sees right, he feels unhappy and when he sees left he feels happy. As such happiness does not lie in possession of sensory objects, but in imagination. They advise people to look towards those who have fewer possessions and be happy. If you look towards people having more wealth, you will always be unhappy.
It is unreasonable to hold this point of view. It is unkind to regard one happy by imagining that one is better than the poor and the unhappy. “If you want to be happy, look towards the poor.” We know that those poor people cannot satisfy even their basic needs. This attitude satisfies the sense of pride of possession, but this can never be called happiness. Unless we really find where happiness lies, we cannot really be happy.
Some ask people to do this and do that and say, “This way your desire will b e satisfied. You would get the desired objects and become happy.” People holding these views regard happiness as
satisfaction of desires. But it is not possible to satisfy one’s desires because there are countless desires of countless people and the material things are limited. Then new desires arise as soon as the previous ones are satisfied. Therefore, desires, which are changing all the time, can never be satisfied.
Happiness is a characteristic of a good life, that is, a life in which a person fulfills human nature in an excellent way. People have a set of purposes which are typically human: these belong to our nature. Happiness is also a condition that must be prepared for, cultivated, and defended privately by each person. People who learn to control inner experience will be able to determine the quality of their lives and come to being happy. Happiness lies in the distribution of easiness among others. Happiness stands for forgiveness and justice. Happiness is the name of struggle and courage. Happiness may be founded in seeking of true knowledge and rule of wisdom. Happiness may be shared in service and duty. This life is combination of joys and sorrows, and honest efforts should be done to make this life journey full of happiness, love, peace and harmony.
71. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To show how to achieve happiness.
B. To encourage people to achieve happiness.
C. To argue how to understand happiness.
D. To explain the features of happiness.
72. According to the text, people who think happiness lies in imagination will try to achieve happiness by ______.
A. looking towards people having more wealth
B. looking towards those with fewer possessions
C. imagining how rich you will be in the future
D. imagining that you have a five-storey building
73. The author doesn’t think that happiness lies in satisfaction of desires because _______.
A. ever-changing desires can never be satisfied
B. no desires of a person can be satisfied at all
C. there isn’t enough money to meet people’s needs
D. the desires of a person are limited
74. In the author’s opinion, happiness _______.
A. can be achieved easily by earning money
B. must belong to those with rich knowledge
C. can be gained by controlling inner experience
D. can be gained by setting small goals
75. According to the last paragraph, who can have happiness?

B. Mike who always forgives others’ mistakes.
C. Tom who enjoys a high standard of living.
D. Tim whose requirements are always met.

Everybody cheats. Whether it’s the taxi driver who tricks a visitor and takes them the long way round, or the shop assistant who doesn’t give the correct change, or the police officer who accepts a bribe (贿赂) –everybody’s at it. Cheats in the nest incl ude the scientist whose research was based on fake data, the game show competitors who worked with a friend in the audience or
win a million pounds, and the doctor who made up his qualifications and wasn’t really a doctor at all. Everybody cheats; nobody’s playing the game.
Is cheating acceptable, a natural way of surviving and being successful? Or is it something that should be frowned on, and young people discouraged from doing? If it’s the latter how can we explain to children why so many bend the rules?
Take sport for example. The Word Cup was filled with cheating. Whether diving, pretending to be hurt or denying a handball, footballers will do anything for a free – kick or a penalty shot. France striker Henry denied cheating to win the free – kick which led to his side’s second goal in their 3 – 1 victory over Spain. Many footballers, however, are often putting it on. Whatever the nationality there’s one common ploy: the player rolls over holding their leg, ankle or head seeming to be in great pain. As a result a yellow card and / or free – kick is given for the foul and then, a few seconds later, the player is up and about as if nothing had happened! The ref (裁判) may be taken in by it but youngsters watching the game aren’t. They also see their hero es getting away with it.
Of course it’s not just football. In 1998 the Tour de France, the world’s greatest cycling event, was hit by a drug –taking scandal (丑闻). The 40 bottles of forbidden drugs found with the Fustian team caused a massive investigation that almost caused the Tour to be abandoned. One rider, Veronique, was banned for 9 months. He claimed: “You have cheats in sport, just as you do in business –there will always be people trying to take a short cut. At least we’re not turning a blind eye to the problem, which other sports are.”
Is it all unavoidable? There’s huge pressure on all athletes to perform for their fans and for their sponsors. It’s success, money and power that rule professional sport rather than an honest attempt to do the best one can.
Meanwhile companies around the world are losing billions of dollars to fake products. From cut price CDs and DVDs to sportswear, cheap fake products are everywhere. It has become socially acceptable to buy fake Gucci bags and illegal copies of films. If parents are doing this, their children will follow.
So perhaps it’s not surprising that around the world more pupils than ever are caught cheating during exams. In one case missing exam papers were put up for sale on the Internet. In another, widespread cheating took place by pupils using their mobile phones to receive tested answers. They blame the pressure put on them to do well in exams. It doesn’t help that their role models are also cheats. Surely we can’t complain when we’re setting such a bad example.
76．According to the passage, in which way can a game show player cheat?
A．By gaining aid from a friend. B．By taking an indirect way.
C．By taking forbidden drugs. D．By selling fake products.
77．The phrase “be frowned on”(Paragraph 2) most probably means .
A．to be pushed forward B．to be disapproved of
C．to be taken the place of D．to be stuck with
78．The writer’s suppose for writing this passage is to .
A．complain about cheats in school education
B．explain why people in almost every field cheat
C．blame the society for tolerating cheats
D．persuade young people not to cheat in exams
79．The writer mentions the example of the World Cup in Paragraph 3 in order to .
A．warn coaches and athletes of the danger of cheating
B．discuss the relationship between sport and cheating
C．show cheating is a common phenomenon nowadays
D．explore the nature of cheating in important events
80．Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?

B．Children are natural cheats.
C．Everyone including children cheats.
D．If adults cheat, children will cheat too.
第二节：下面文章中有5处（第61~65题）需要添加小标题，请从以下选项中选出符合各段意思的小标题，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

选项中一项为多余选项。

A．Protect your private material.
B．Put personal files online.
C．Don’t post anything without a second thought.
D．Never respond before you think twice.
E．Express your anger in a proper way.
F．Establish your online identity and reputation.
The virtual world is full of opportunities to share with people around the worl d. It’s also a place where nothing is temporary and there are no “take –backs.” A lot of what you do and say online can be got back online even if you delete it –and it’s an easy thing for others to copy, save, and forward your information.
81．
Anyone who accesses your profile on a social networking site can copy or screen – capture information and photos that you may not want the world to see. Don’t rely on the site’s default settings. Read each site’s instructions or guidelines to make sure you’re doing everything you can to keep your material private. If someone logs on to a site and pretends to be you, they can trash your identity. Pick passwords that no one will guess (don’t use your favorite band or your dog’s birthday; try thinking of two completely random nouns and mixing in a random number), and change then often. Never share them with anyone other than your parents or a trusted adult. Not even your best friend, boyfriend, or girlfriend should know your private passwords!
82．
Things that seem funny or cool to you right now might not seem so cool years from now – or when a teacher, admissions officer, or potential employer sees them. A good and reliable way is; if you’d feel unnatural if your grandmother, coach, or best friend’s parents saw it, it’s probably not a good thing to post. Even if it’s on a private page, it could be hacked or copied and forwarded. 83．
Research shows that a high percentage of teens receive improper messages and requirements when they’re online. These can be scary, strange, and even embarrassing. If you feel troubled by a stranger or a friend online, tell an adult you trust immediately. It is never a good idea to respond. Responding is only likely to make things worse, and might result in you saying something you wish you hadn’t.
84．
If you are eager to let out an angry comment on a message board or blog, it’s a good idea to wait a few minutes, calm down, and remember that the comments may stay up (with your screen。
